HTML5 Boilerplate http://html5boilerplate.com
Changelog:
v.2.0 : August 10th, 2011
v2.0 HIGHLIGHTS
NORMALIZE.CSS
We are now using normalize.css developed by Nicolas Gallagher along with Jonathan Neal instead of the traditional CSS Reset stylesheet.
normalize.css retains useful browser defaults and includes several common fixes to improve cross-browser (desktop and mobile) styling consistency.
Lots of research has gone into normalize, verifying what are the default user agent styles provided by each browser. We can very specifically change only the ones we need to instead of the bulldozer approach.
Why this is great news:
- Who likes being so damn redundant and declaring: em, i { font-style: italic; }
- By using normalization instead of a reset + building up default styles, we use less styles and save bytes
- Less noise in your dev tools: when debugging, you don't have to trawl through every reset selector to reach the actual style that is causing the issue.
- More details here: http://necolas.github.com/normalize.css/
PROMPT CHROME FRAME FOR IE6
- With the latest release of Chrome frame which does not require admin access to be installed, we felt it was a good time to prompt IE 6 users to install Chrome Frame. (Using protocol-relative url and exact version for higher expires headers)
####BUILD SCRIPT++: Faster, @import inlining, appcache generation
- If 15 seconds was too long to wait before, you'll be happy with the changes. Via a new "intermediate" folder, we cut down build time by 80% or more.
- If you use
@import
s in your CSS to author in multiple files, the build script will inline all these together. This way, you have a maintainable authoring experience, and still a highly performant production version. - Making an app that works offline is a badge of honor. Now with a flick of a config switch, the H5BP build script can autogenerate your cache manifest file with all the right info and wire it up. It'll also keep the manifest revved as you deploy new changes.
ADDING RESPOND.JS
- Add respond.js as a shift to a responsive approach. Updated it to improved, comment-free version which would enable IEs to also apply styles using media queries.
PNGFIX & HANDHELD REMOVED
- Remove handheld.css as we do not think it was useful among the diverse feature phones
- We feel tools like imagealpha and pngquant are more useful than using stopgap fixes like belatedpng.
detailed 2.0 changelog
.HTACCESS

BUILD SCRIPT
-
CSSLint, JSLint, JSHint tools are now optionally available in the build script
-
New features in build script:
-
Added a files.bypass property which when set, will not compress the listed JavaScript files, but just silently passes it on to the publish folder without any change.
-
Added a images.bypass with a list of image files or folders within the img directory that you do not want to be optimized. Fixes #564
-
Build script is compatible with php files now. it appears. fixes #392.
-
Build script now generates appcache manifest. see #652
-
Test for ant version to head off problems with ant < 1.8.2
-
removes concatenated css files from index.html when they are linked to with link tag. Fixes #452
-
Added DOCTYPE so Eclipse and other IDE's do not complain about the lack of schema. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/363768/disable-dtd-warning-for-ant-scripts-in-eclipse
-
Updated Windows optipng and jpegtran paths to include ${basedir}
-
Minification affects all .css and .js files in /css and /js dirs, not just the ones explicitly included in concatenation.
-
Build script: compress all images in subfolders, too.
-
Added gae.js_dir and gae.css_dir so that App Engine projects can have the correct directory names swapped in their templates.
-
added a second replace token statement so that "/css/style.css" gets swapped too.
-
change .png and .jpg to **/.png and **/.jpg so that optimize commands reach subdirectories.
-
Improved build script compatibility with Netbeans IDE. default.properties: added IDE generated files/folders to exclude from build script .gitignore: Filename case correction for Windows generated Thumb.db Fix #374
-
Adding properties to project.properties so that Google App Engine builds don't have "static" prepended when swapping for minified versions.
-
console.log messages are no longer commented out. use log() instead
-
Much faster build process
Intermediate stages are stored in a new intermediate folder, and only files that should be published are copied into the publish folder.
Files are not deleted at the beginning of every build, and files that have already been processed will not be reprocessed unless the source has changed.
- Files are revved by SHA, not incrementally at each build
Versioned files are referenced by a SHA-1 hash of the content rather than a build number. This means that changing your HTML and rebuilding will not cause your users to redownload the same CSS and JavaScript, and a reverted change may cause users to use a copy that was previously downloaded. It may be better to use only part of the hash so the HTTP request is shorter.
- copy files last This slightly simplifies copying because we don't have to exclude PNG, JPEG, or HTML files from the copy stage. it comes preminified, and we don't need to minify it again This also updates the HTML so that the script is not missing if the unminified scripts are unavailable on the server. This commit requires a change to existing HTML files :/
- change the source htaccess rather than updating it
- update yuicompressor to 2.4.5. fixes media query minification issue.
- update htmlcompressor to 1.1 which uses the new yuicompressor for CSS.
- try not to re-optimize the same images every time
- Lots of bug fixes for edge cases and improved techniques..
INDEX.HTML
- Use minified jQuery by default. / jQuery updated to 1.6.2
- Add respond.js as part of shift to 'mobile first' approach.
- Updated to Modernizr 2.0 Complete, Production minified.
- Prompt IE 6 users to install Chrome Frame, update chromeframe install to 1.0.3. Move chromeframe to bottom of page after the other scripts. also reference exact version for higher expires headers. Use protocol-relative url for chrome frame URL Fixes #495
- Removing touch icon link tags and retaining only the comment.
- Encourage people to send the X-UA-Compatible HTTP header instead of leaving it in the HTML, to avoid edge case issues. Fixes #378.
- Remove the cache-busting query parameters from the HTML.
- Simplify the conditional comment containing code for IE 9+ and modern browsers

<svg>
overflow fix for IE9. Group<img>
and<svg>
rules in an 'embedded content' section of CSS file. Add {cursor:pointer} to element. - Switch to outline:0 for accesible focus treatment. Avoids Opera bug when combined with transitions. Also saves bytes.

v.1.0 : March 21st, 2011
Build Script
- Files linked via
@import
will be inlined into the files they are imported to using Corey Hart's CSS Compressor. - Environments are definable.
- htaccess Expires headers are upgraded to 1year, as the filenames are revved
- Massive rewrite so you can define which HTML, CSS, and JS files to operate on in your configurable project.properties files. This allows you to let the build script operate on unique folder architectures (including non-H5BP projects).
- Added a source directory option in the build config, so your source files can be in a different directory from the final generated files. (Useful for other CMSes/frameworks like Django.)
index.html
- We use a protocol-relative URL for the jQuery include, to prevent the mixed content warning.
- The order of
<meta>
tags,<title>
, andcharset
has been documented more extensively now. TL;DR: You are safe to use the boilerplate's order of tags. - We've shortened up the Google Analytics snippet.
- Added an ARIA
role
attribute todiv#main
. This assumes your main content goes within that container. - IE9 doesn't get its own conditional class! Yay!
style.css
- Added
.focusable
helper class, which extends.visuallyhidden
to allow the element to be focusable when navigated to via the keyboard. - Anchor links are no longer reset. Basically our reset is effectively merged with Eric Meyer's recent CSS reset update, and the HTML5 Doctor reset.
- An unordered list within a
<nav>
element will no longer have a margin. - All helper classes are now after primary styles to ensure correct overrides and not be burdened with resets.
.visuallyhidden
is no longer camelCase for consistency with other classname formats.- Updated the specificity of
.visuallyhidden
to make sure it overrides all other declarations. - Removed reset on
<img>
elements within table cells as they look ugly alongside multiline texts. Browsers default to baseline alignment for images, which works better than top alignment. - Increased margin-left on
<ol>
, to allow for 2-digit list numbers. - Added a print reset on IE's proprietary filters.
- Print styles no longer prints hash links or JavaScript links.
- Updated
<sub>
/<sup>
CSS so that they're not impacted byline-height
, so now you can do sub/superscripts without worrying.
Project
- Added a humans.txt so you can clarify authorship and tools used.
- Removed YUI profiling. You probably weren't using it anyway.
- Removed QUnit's unit tests. There is no need to ship with them, really.
Webserver Configs
.htaccess
- .htaccess is far more documented now. Take a read through it!
- Changed mimetype of
.ico
files toimage/x-icon
. - HTML Manifest files now use
.appcache
extension instead of.manifest
, as per http://html5.org/r/5812. - Force deflate for accept-encoding headers mangled by turtle tappers, courtesy of Yahoo!'s research
- We nerfed some of the directives in case you're on a server without
mod_headers
. (Which is totally crazy, man!) - Block access to
.git
and.svn
folders. - Eradicating Chrome's console warning on WOFF font downloads.
- More optimizations available if you set the
.htaccess
details up in yourhttpd.conf
.htaccess
now caches.htc
files
<li>Moved all server configurations (except Apache's <code>.htaccess</code>) over to <a href ="https://github.com/paulirish/html5-boilerplate-server-configs">the new html5-boilerplate-server-configs repo</a>. Head over there if you're not using Apache. </li>
<li>Updated <code>.htaccess</code> and <code>mime.types</code> for <code>ogg</code> formats.</li>
<li>Fixed regression where EOT fonts had been excluded from DEFLATE compression</li>
<li>Apache version independence: Use <code>mod_filter</code> for compression, with fallback to AddOutputFilterByType directive for legacy versions</li>
<li>Added plugin/extension mime types for Safari, Chrome, Firefox</li>
#### nginx
- Cleaned up cache expires directives.
- Now includes SVG and font formats for gzipping.
- expires header bug fixed.
- Added Flash video mime types to IIS server
- Fixed some mimetype weirdness that was preventing proper caching
- Also Google App Engine, Lighttpd, and NodeJS configurations were added
Basically a lot of great updates were made for 1.0. Here are all 220 commits since last release.. You may ask though, do I need to upgrade existing sites? Short answer: nah, you're good.
